Student wrestler, 20, dies after coaches ignore his desperate pleas for water

A university wrestler who desperately shouted “get me some water” but was denied it by coaches because of his poor performance died of heatstroke, a police report says.

Grant Brace, 20, a student at the University of Cumberland in Kentucky, was not given water by his coaches as a punishment for how he was training, it was revealed.

He was made to carry out repeated sprints up a 200 feet “punishment hill” on a hot day and was not allowed to have a drink after asking for it as he fell behind the rest of training colleagues.
